Short-ish answer:
Scoutbook and IA2 both look at the same underlying advancement database, but using different user interfaces.
The Scoutbook interface is reached from https://scoutbook.scouting.org. It’s a different interface, so it has slightly different options. When the unit leader logs in, they would go to:
My Dashboard → Administration → My Units → Troop ### → Troop Roster → Scout’s Name → Scout’s Advancement
Scroll down to the merit badges section. If CiS is already listed, click on the name. If not, go to Start a New Merit Badge near the bottom, and start CiS.
Once in the CiS MB, the leader can click on the checkbox for Completed and set a date, and on Leader Approved.
